From what I can gather, the opponents of the plan are worried that the new development will tear at the fabric of a neighborhood that has built itself up. This is a valid criticism. What I would like to see is, what buildings will be condemned, and what will be built in its place. Then I would be able to form a solid opinion.
FeeFee, have you been back to the MetroTech lately? I like the development, but I'm also not familiar with what was there before.

They've managed to build up another building or two (my friend's job just relocated there recently). Some sections of NYPD and FDNY are there as well. My mom still lives in the neighborhood and works in the MetroTech area. She has no plans of moving any time soon.
I guess there could be some concern for tearing up certain buildings/neighborhoods which have some historical significance in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz is always trying to find ways to make sure that the rest of the world knows about the greatness of Brooklyn, that's for sure. Hopefully there will be a solution that is profitable to all.
Let's see what happens.
